Mizzle vs Contented
Where Mizzle belongs to Farrow & Ball's range, Contented is a Sherwin-Williams color. They have nearly identical light reflectance values (52 vs 52), so they'll read as similarly medium in most lighting conditions. Mizzle runs warm while Contented is decidedly neutral, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. At ΔE 1.4, these are close — the kind of difference that matters when choosing between them, but doesn't read strongly in a finished room.
Mizzle vs Contented Color Comparison
Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
